The VOICES OF ANIMALs.-In ver1
cold and very hot climates there are ce1
tain dog races that never bark, rag
already referred to by Captain Cook Il
the account of his voyages. In ASH
there is species of dog. called coisunl
which never barks. It is to be foun1
chiefly in the Deccan, in the mountains d
Nilgiri and in the woodlands on the coad
of Coromodel. Also among the birds, bI
poets so often styled "the singers of th|
forest" there are many kinds that an
mute. Two varieties of sparrows the taT|
CARA of Brazil and the senegal at the Sen
gal, are said never to emit sound, AMI
in Australia there are larks quite simila|
to those of our own country, but Whlci
never sing.
The real singing of birds is done only i
springtime, to greet anew natures aWa1

out of the wagon, nor could he, as he
was so drunk that the Doctor had to

Fifty Millions Lost Annually.

Facts in possession of the Govern.
ment show that the loss of farm ami
mails from contagious diseases exceeds
fifty million dollars annually and that
this enormous loss falls almost wholly
upon farmers and poultry raisers, the
loss from chicken cholera alone being
almost beyond belief. Cases are men,
toned where whole townships have
been swept by chicken cholera and
tens of thousands of fowl lost at
one outbreak. In the case of pleuro-
pneumonia and hog-cholera, no abso-
lutte remedy has as yet been discovered,
but in the case Of chicken cholera and
oil diseases of chickens an unfailing
remedy has been discovered. We refer
to Sheridan's Condition Powder. This
powder was marvellous discovery.
1t will not only prevent and cure all
diseases of poultry but there is nothing
on earth that will make hens lay like
it. If you desire to learn how to use
this powder to prevent chicken cholera
roup, gapes and all other diseases of
chickens; how to detect symptoms of
disease, and how to care for sick
chickens how to clean poultry houses
and runs, and how to save your young
chickens and turkeys, then send at

HOWARD'S ''LIFE OF HENRY WARD
BEECHER" has been issued, and it
fully meets the expectation which
awaited it. 1t is a remarkably bright
and interesting book, coming as it
does, from one of the most accom-
plished of journalists. and concerning
as it does, one of the brightest of men.
One of it's most remarkable features
is, that it gives US an insight into Mr..
Beecher's own mind and heart, such
us nothing but the breathing of his
inmost nature to his most trusted and
lifelong friends could fit an author to
present. Mr.. Towards biography is
interesting as we'll as accurate-a
merit almost as rare in biography as
in history. The work is as timely, too,
as it is accurate and interesting.
Popular interest in the character and
deeds of the great orator has had little
time to abate in the few weeks that
have passed, since his body was
carried from Plymouth Church, and
buried under pail of roses. For the
scope of the work it is enough to say
that it is complete, covering Mr..
Beecher's eventful life from childhood
down to the peaceful deathhed scene
in Brooklyn last March, and the great
demonstrations of sorrow that came
spontaneously from his city his nation
and the world. 1t is in truth a unique
book; most ably prepared and full of
interest from first TO finale. 1t con-
tains II perfect portrait in steel, many
other beautiful illustrations, and in
Typography, paper and binding is
superior book, well worthy of an i'm
mense circulation. Both Mr.. Howard
and his publishers have done their
work we'll and the book will doubt
less win the popular success it so richly
merits.

Mr.. Editor =

Mr., Editor -
| wish through the columns of your
paper to ask question or two of the
gentlemen who have lately been fish.
ing in Island Pond.
Some of you, only last year, were
very eager and officious in your efforts
to have me prosecuted for fishing when
| supposed the law protecting Island
Pond had expired. Your efforts at
that time fully fixed the fact in my
mind that the law expires next Novem-
Der. Was it intended to apply only
to twelve year old boys, leaving the
men to fish when they pleased? Or
does your high official positions and
standing in society make you greater
and miGhtier than the laws of this
state =?
If you are the men you pretend to
be, you will arise and explain why
you hunted me for doing just what
you are bold to do this year.
